One of my bigger projects is designing Trending Politics the magazine. I was replacing another designer when I was brought onto the Making Web team in 2021. I did a complete redesign of the magazine, making it cleaner and more appealing to a larger audience. As I managed the design of the magazine I also worked with the editor to design the reader's journey through each month's magazine. I helped with choosing the theme and direction for each edition. I even started writing a faith article for each magazine to further elevate our customer's experience. Since my redesign of the magazine, subscription retention greatly increased. We had far fewer cancellations and increased the overall number of subscribers.
The majority of my work for the magazine included layout design, but I also created original art/images for the covers and featured images. I also handled preparing the files for print.
Note: This is a political magazine that is geared towards a more Conservative audience. The opinions in the articles belong to the writers of the articles and do not necessarily reflect my own beliefs. My job was to create the best experience possible for our audience and not to push my own opinions on our readers.
